Choosing the right therapist is a very personal and important decision. It is crucial that client and therapist have the means to form a strong and trusting therapeutic alliance in order to do deep and meaningful work together, I strive to achieve that with every client I work with. My specialty lies in working through unresolved trauma. Using skills + a strong intuition, I will help guide you through your healing process as you come to terms with events and lay them to rest. I draw from Acceptance Commitment Therapy and am non pathologizing.

I am confident I can help you with where you're at right now. I help people make sense of their childhoods and find new ways to experience difficult emotions. What always helps is increasing your tolerance to sit with discomfort. Of course, this is easier said than done. Especially with traumatic memories, your system is going to create distance from them. That is a natural response and something we can work with together. The relationship we will develop is always the best tool to use in this process. It is my aim to help you feel safe and seen in a way that both challenges and validates your experiences.

Accepting New Clients - I believe we all possess an innate wisdom that allows us to live in a state of flow, safety and healthy relationships. Life challenges, trauma, loss, and stressful transitions can often dampen our flow, showing up as anxious thoughts, panic attacks, depressed mood, or feeling unsafe or alone. During these seasons, we may feel highly activated or impulsive, or alternately listless, numb, or disconnected from ourselves and others. Sometimes reaching out for support during such moments feels immensely difficult, and yet I believe the power of connection can help return us to our inherent wisdom and flow.

I am relational in my approach. I believe that people have been broken in relationships and that we are healed in the context of relationships. Over the past 19 years I have had many clients reach their goals and experienced transformation through the counseling process. There is no greater privilege than being able to walk beside people in their healing journey. Evening and weekday appointments available. Contact me via phone, text or email.

If you are tired of feeling anxious and want the “what ifs” to stop ruling your life, you’ve come to the right place! Let’s figure out together where the anxiety is coming from and how to tame it so you can get up in the morning excited about your day instead of dreading the voice in your head warning you about every detail. It’s possible to change the voice of “What if I can’t do this?” to “I’ve got this!”. My passion lies in helping women experiencing issues with anxiety and other women's issues including self-worth, eating disorders, trauma, life transitions, parenting and relationship issues.

Despite best efforts, the clients I work with find themselves frustrated, overwhelmed, or disheartened when trying to achieve goals, grieving a loss or navigating life’s unique challenges. They want to heal; disrupt patterns within themselves; or in relationships. Typically, they are open to the idea of “awakening” & want to feel more grounded within themselves & explore how they interact with the world. Through the lens of authentic compassion, they’re awakening or questioning our cultural conditioning that reinforces the idea that we are not enough. I create a genuine space for you to come as you are.
